LAMBERTvrLLE, N. j., Jan. 8, 1887.
Mr.. EDIToR:-For the past few weeks
the public mind has been seriously in
quiring what Is to become OF our city,
and the recent sales of real estate have
fully settled the question. Property that
was valuable not long since has just sold
for less than half its cost. House after
house, large and small, in good localities,
were scarcely bid for, and should few
more now be forced on the market, they
must be struck off at mere pittance, for
the simple reason that they cannot be
rented to any advantage, while about
hundred stand idle for want of tenants,
and men going continually to other places
to find employment.
All seem to agree there must be a
change, and that radical, right early.
The tax rates If justly levied to-day in
proportion to what property will sell for,
would be less than half that of former
years; and still for all that it can be seen
that 1t must grow worse IL not reversed I.
All are aware of these lamentable facts
With business dull too, in every depart
ment, and daily becoming more so, must
we wait longer and do worse?
/ am only one Of many, and want to
know what is to be done to reverse this
sad state of affairs. | we'll know what
could be done that would reverse the
whole matter and turn this darkness into
daylight, and that is new departure,
Let every property owner, great and
small, lend helping hand and contribute
TO capital stock Of small shares that al
together will be sufficient to purchase
suitable grounds and erect thereon first
class manufacturing establishment and
rent it to outside parties on good terms,
to come here and employ two hundred
hands in working such materia; as pays
we'll in other places.
mean to be understood, that this can
not be brought about without the help Of
all. Every man who owns house 10 the
city should cast in his mite, ever SC
small, into such an enterprise. We can
not get up manufacturing establish
ment without help. and IL all will help II
can be done aud done easily. Then would
come that healthful change-over 1000
new corners into our empty city, ill all
our houses and boarding places, aud the
stores and markets with new customers,
and burn up those old weather beaten
placards, that have so long mournfuily
adorned numerous fronts in our city

About this time every year the big
city stores begin to have reduction
sales, . "sales to make room" etc, at
half-price, or no price. People from
the country ought not to be caught by
snch chaff When you go for these "bar.
gains" they are not there. These stores
ask you about the same price as you
will be asked at home. From personal
examination OF prices and the testimony
of others We can certify that our leading
TIambertville merchants sell on an aver.
age as low and in some grades of goods
lower than the big city stores. Patron
lie home, and help your own town and
neighborhood.

The Peach Exchange.
There is movement on foot to estao-
lish a Peach Exchange in Pennington for
the county, by which all the peaches
raised in the county will be sold here to
the highest bidder This has been done
in Delaware for some time and the result
has been that the peach grower has in
creased his profits largely. BY the pres
emit system peaches are often sent to a
glutted market aud the result is that very
little is realized from such shipments,
sometimes not enough to pay expenses
even. The exchange will bring to Elem
ington buyers from all parts of the coun-
try, and when one does not want peaches
another will. thus the raiser win get the
best price obtainable anywhere. It will
also be benefit to our town, as it will
bring many agents here who will remain
with us during the peach season. We
welcome this, as we do anything and
everything which is benefit TO the farm
ers of the county; in doing this we do not
forget ourselves, for what betters the con-
dition of the farmer is beneficial to ms,
who have to look there for our support.
The idea of this exchange had its birth in
Delaware township at an open meeting Of
the Grange at Locktown, in October last,
at which the matter of the losses now
met through the system and through in
competent, or worse, commission mer-
chants, was discussed. A committee con-
sistlng of John-P. Rittenhouse, J6seph
| Williamson, John Barton, William b.
Hocksnbnry and j. Ewing was appointed
to correspond with the officers of Della.
ware Peach Exchange and learn what
success it had met with and what was
necessary to effect an organization. Last
Thursday a meeting was held in the
Court House, with John p. Rttenhouse
presiding, and il was resolved that cor
poration be founded with a capital of
$4,000, divided into 100 shares, upon
which there shall be paid in 81 1000. At
the last meeting about forty members
had joined. Every peach grower ought
to be q member, as it is personal benefit
to him. Democrat Adgertiser.

The Musicale.
The Musicale, given by ladies and
gentlemen of this city, at Thatcher's
Hall, last Thursday evening, was fine
musicale treat, and those who were alb
sent have reason to regret 1t. The whole
programme was we'll rendered. The
music was not simply selected because
it was difficult TO play (as is too often the
case) but because it was music, and yet
much of it was from the great masters.
As the programme was impersonal, we
presume it is not desired that individual
mention he made of the soloists. We
will say, however. that the vocal, piano,
cornet and violin solos were excellent
both in selection and rendering. The
chorus singing was also fine. and the
pieces for mems voices delighted the
audience.
Although the purpose of the concert
was benevolent one. nobody deserved
any thanks for attending, for each got q
great deal more than his moneys worth.

in liberal hands, who will favor such an
enterprise as would add materially to our
city just at this time.

Order of Red Men, Of this city, held
their anniversary in Lyceum Hall, last
Friday evening. Between two and three
hundred people we're present, including
the wives, children and sweethearta Of
the members and some guests. The
turnout was not as large as expected,
owing to the icy pavements. The Tribe
has about 225 members, and it was ex-
pected that most OF them would attend
with their families.
Over three hundred pounds Of turkey
were prepared, besides other eatables,
and the supply was far greater than the
wants of those who ate.
The supper table was spread in the
basement, and the main room was occu-
pied by the assemblage as social place
and in which to listen TO speeches and
music.
During the evening addresses were
delivered by Rev. @. H. Woolstor, and
Messrs. John 81. Black, @. II. W. Van
solver, Thos. L. Naylor and CLARK Pier
son. Mr.. W. III. Moon acted as chair
man and acquitted himself well. The
speaking was interspersed with vocal
and instrumental music, in which Mr..
Samuel Pickering. Miss Lizzie Savage,
and Mr.. C. Fl. w. Van Solver and son
did themselves credit and gave great
pleasure to their listeners.
The anniversary was a success, as have
been all those heretofore held by Tus-
carora Tribe. II is to be commended
for bringing together the wives of the
members once year to enjoy its hospi-
tally 1t is an example to Others
in this respect.
